Favorite 9mm 147 1000fps load

[Animalguy]

Im looking to replicate my carry ammo an get 1000fps out of a 147gr JHP or even a plated HP. I have lots of mid range powders, but nothing that will quite get me there. I load lots of soft shooting cast loads in several Pistol calibers.
Any favorites?

3N37 might be something to look into

Somebody on Brian Enos forum suggested 3N38 for 1200fps without crazy pressure. There was much flailing about after that. It was an old thread though.

I believe Vihtavouri list 1,207 fps for a Hornady 147gr XTP with 3N38 as a max load.

Yup...

I figured the 3N37 got you where you wanted... the 3N38 is just crazy even at min load lol

3N38 will do that easily. My only 9mm powder.

I have a jug of 3n38 listed in the classifieds.

Looks like 3N37 or even N350 might be a more versatile choice as they show plated and cast data.
Anyone have any to part with or know who stocks it?

You might find a max charge of N330 or even N320 to be a bit more pleasant in terms of recoil/flash/blast. With any powder obviously start low and work up looking for pressure signs, ideally over a chronograph. Cartridge OAL becomes very important with heavier bullets.
